Odaily News, September 4 - The B.AI platform has announced that OpenAI's latest flagship model, GPT-6 Astra, is now officially integrated into its platform API. As OpenAI's newest flagship intelligent model, Astra achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across computer operations, web browsing, software engineering, cybersecurity, scientific research, and professional workflows. The model supports a 1.05 million-token context window and native multimodal input, and is deeply optimized for complex reasoning and long-horizon Agent workflows. The B.AI API is now open for access, with an exclusive 10% discount available.
Odaily News - Coinbase has disclosed the architecture and application of its internal AI system "CEEcil." This system is not a simple chatbot but is designed as an AI agent that functions like a "team member." It can be mentioned in Slack, and possesses long-term memory, proactive follow-up, and judgment capabilities.CEEcil retains team context through a three-tier memory mechanism: in the background, it continuously extracts information such as decisions, blocked items, and owners from authorized channels; each night, it consolidates short-term observations into long-term summaries; and when answering questions, it retrieves historical memories, recent conversations, and real-time data on demand. The system also adopts a tiered model architecture, where simple queries are prioritized for processing via APIs or knowledge bases, and only complex, multi-step tasks are delegated to more powerful AI models, thereby reducing cost and latency.In practical applications, CEEcil can proactively join relevant Slack discussions, send emoji reactions, and automatically follow up when issues go unaddressed. Coinbase states that the system also once refused to submit operational documents containing customer identity information to Git, suggesting the use of redacted versions or compliant storage methods instead—demonstrating a certain level of security judgment.Architecturally, CEEcil consists of a Go service and an AI agent runtime, and connects to tools such as memory retrieval, knowledge bases, real-time queries, and Slack via MCP. Coinbase also has set up a real-time "kill switch," call limits and spending caps, audit mechanisms, and requires human review and merging of the code it generates.Coinbase says CEEcil is now able to help teams handle production incidents and answer expert knowledge that previously would have required waiting hours to obtain. In the future, the company hopes to expand this model into multiple AI agents tailored to specific teams, enabling AI not only to "answer questions" but also to continuously remember, proactively participate, and complete actual work.
Odaily News: On August 21, 2026, PeaqOS integrated World ID, allowing robots and machines operating on PeaqOS to natively request and verify World ID proofs via robotic.sh, confirming that the interacting party is a real and unique human—without collecting names, facial information, or other personal data.The system employs zero-knowledge proofs, meaning machines receive cryptographic proof that the user is a real human, rather than identity information. As a coordination layer, PeaqOS connects to World ID through decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and machine markets, recording auditable interaction logs.This solution can be applied in scenarios such as autonomous delivery, shared machines, and pharmaceutical delivery. Users can verify multiple times in the World App and during the delivery process, allowing robots to confirm that the recipient is the same person associated with the order. PeaqOS also plans to extend zero-knowledge verification to more DePIN projects. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: MetaMask on Thursday launched the self-custodial wallet Agent Wallet, which allows AI agents to execute on-chain transactions within user-defined limits. It targets traders and developers who use AI agents to monitor markets, identify opportunities, and execute trades autonomously. Users can set spending limits, approve specific protocols, choose risk settings, and select between Guard Mode and Beast Mode for different levels of automation. Agent Wallet supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, OpenCode, as well as Hyperliquid and Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. Agent Wallet supports gas abstraction, allowing users to pay network fees using the asset being transferred, without needing to hold the network's native token. MetaMask stated that supported transactions will undergo transaction simulation, threat scanning, and smart transaction MEV protection. Eligible transactions that still incur losses after passing security checks may be covered by Transaction Protection of up to $10,000 per month.
: Tether Investments, a subsidiary of Tether, announced that it is leading the Series C funding round for humanoid robotics company NEURA Robotics. The total size of this funding round could reach up to $1.4 billion, setting a new record for private fundraising in the robotics and physical AI sector.NEURA Robotics is a multi-form cognitive robotics company, with products encompassing humanoid robots, precision robotic arms, automated guided vehicles / autonomous mobile robots (AGVs/AMRs), and service robots. The company has established a stable pipeline of enterprise clients and has formed strategic partnerships with top global industry partners, some of whom are also participating in this investment round. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated: "As robots move towards true autonomy, the underlying infrastructure must also be upgraded. WDK and QVAC will provide machines with a dual layer of finance and intelligence, enabling them to independently execute tasks and complete transactions."
: According to an official announcement, on June 3, Trust Wallet announced a partnership with BNB Chain and CoinMarketCap to officially launch the "BNB Hack: AI Trading Agents" hackathon, featuring a total prize pool of $36,000. The Trust Wallet Agent Kit serves as the core on-chain execution technology stack for this event. This hackathon also marks the first time the Trust Wallet Agent Kit has been fully integrated as a core infrastructure component into a top-tier AI Agent hackathon system.The hackathon features two main tracks: "Autonomous Trading Agents" (prize pool $24,000, 5 winners) and "Strategy Skills" (prize pool $6,000, 3 winners), in addition to three partner special awards of $2,000 each. In the "Autonomous Trading Agents" track, participants must leverage the Trust Wallet Agent Kit to achieve local self-custodial signing, autonomous mode operation, and on-chain trade execution, deployed within native BNB Chain scenarios such as PancakeSwap and BSC Perpetual Contracts. The "Strategy Skills" track does not require an execution layer; participants build backtestable strategy proposals based on 12 categories of data tools from CoinMarketCap MCP, including market data, technical indicators, on-chain data, sentiment, and news.Track one uses real PnL as the core evaluation criterion, setting a maximum drawdown limit as the risk control threshold. Track two is comprehensively scored by a judging panel across four dimensions: technical execution, originality, real-world value, and presentation. The build window runs from June 3 to June 21, the trading window from June 22 to June 28, and winners will be announced during the week of July 6. In addition to cash prizes, winning teams will receive CoinMarketCap Pro API subscription credits, mentorship from CMC Labs, and the BNB Chain Kickstart ecosystem support package.
